Pairing: RoseScorpius

Prompt: Invitation

It's a beautiful fall evening when it happens.

The sun is slowly setting, the sky turning orange and red and pink. A slight breeze plays across my face, ruffling my blonde hair. The open courtyard at Hogwarts is picture perfect. Like a movie, almost. She really only adds to the movie-esque scene.

In the middle of the sprawling lawn, in an extreme display of being out of character, she's spinning around in circles, giggling. The giggles belong to a carefree girl (which she is not) who could never be as reserved or mature as she is. Her arms are spread wide like an eagle, her brown eyes closed and her red curls fanning out behind her. In short, she looks stunning.

Suddenly she stops and flops onto the grass, opening her eyes to stare at the sky. She sighs and looks so content that I can't help but want to lay next to her – to feel as happy and carefree as she does. The space next to her is like an invitation to go next to her and find out everything about her in this rare moment when her walls are down.

So, steeling myself, I do.
